I agree, unless ur like one of those people who are non-Japanese/Korean giving urself a Japanese or Korean name. Then you should be teased.
Idk man, if someone genuinely loves a name it feels pretty shitty to make fun of it. Let people like things

Cultural appropriation and cringe aren’t even remotely the same.

I wasn’t saying they were the same. I said even if someone loves the name Hanako, but they’re not Japanese, they shouldn’t name themselves Hanako. 🤷🏽‍♂️
